Kathryn Doherty

Non-Executive Director

Many people decide to volunteer with children and young people because they’d like to pursue a career in teaching or mentoring. However, when Kathryn, from Blakelaw in Newcastle, decided to volunteer with Success4all in January 2009, she was not sure of which career route she wanted to take. However, volunteering with Success4All helped her to develop the skills she needed for future employment, ‘the real world’, moulding her interest in media and writing. By working one-to-one with young people, she saw the development in their confidence and abilities as writers and students but she also felt her own personal confidence and ability strengthen. Using her abilities, Kathryn went on to do a Media Intern with Success4All which projected her career into motion. Now, she is a full time Communications Coordinator St. Cuthbert’s Hospice in Durham. Success4All been a big influence in her life and as she says herself ‘volunteering with Success4All will give you the skills you need to succeed.’
